Happy Blog-i-versary! Have some free stuff!!!

Last night, I totalled up the entries from my 3rd Blog-i-versary contest. In all, there were 21 participants earning a total of 29 entries. People identified anywhere from 5 up to all 50 of the images correctly (only Chris Ingersoll, a member of my game group, got all 50). I organized all the entries into a spreadsheet and then randomly decided who would win. Now, I could have used a random-number generator or pulled paper from a hat or something, but instead, I used the most maligned and generally useless of all dice, the 30-sider. I actually had Gwen roll it in another room and call out the number to me, just to make sure that we wouldn’t intentionally or unintentionally show any favoritism to someone we knew. The number we rolled was a 10, which corresponded to…

Andrew Tullsen!!!

Congratulations, Andrew! You are the proud new owner of a $35 gift code for Game Surplus !

Thanks for everyone who entered the contest, and especially to Game Surplus for generously donating the prize support! I asked them to help me out because they are one of my favorite online retailers, and I definitely encourage and recommend you all to check them out for your game-buying needs.

But just in case you didn’t have the chance to enter or didn’t do quite as well as Chris, below you will find the collage followed by a template for the answers (click on both to enlarge).

And just to be even more clear, here’s a list of the games on the collage, generally running in order from upper left across and then down to bottom right.
